BILD 'N TOLE, NO. U109

Tole painting is an old European tradition that has become an American folk art. An old American tradition is handcrafting wooden furniture. These two creative endeavors have been combined into a single 16-page instruction guidebook featuring four different projects.

Pictured is a doll cradle that you can build and paint with just a few supplies and basic tools. The cradle is 19 inches long, 11 inches wide and 12 1/2 inches tall. Also included in the guidebook are a wall planter, a two- tiered spice rack and a wall-mounted coat rack. Step-by-step instructions, photographs, diagrams and full-size traceable patterns are given for building and painting all the above.
